Aldgate East Tube Station

Aldgate East is in Zone 1 and serves the District and Hammersmith & City Lines. It’s in the East End of London. It was first opened in 1884. In the 30’s, the track had to be lowered by 7 feet. The line remained open whilst the trench was dug beneath it, with the track held up on woodwork and wire cables attached to the ceiling. You can still see the eye-bolts that the cables were attached to in the roof of the station today; it’s frightening to think they once held the weight of a train!

Attractions

Aldgate East is very near Brick Lane, and there have even been calls for the station to be renamed after that famous street. The area has a big Bangladeshi community and Brick Lane is known for its curry houses and bustling Sunday market. You can also visit Petticoat Lane Market, which has more than a thousand stalls spread over 2 streets. Another nearby attraction not to be missed is the Whitechapel Art Gallery. It was founded in 1901 to bring great art to the people of East London, which has historically been the poorer part of the city. The gallery has a huge number of exhibitions and has premiered work by Picasso and Jackson Pollock, amongst others. There is a very unusual building to visit at 19 Princelet Street. In the 18th century it was the home of Huguenot silk weavers, and in the 19th century Jewish people lived there, and built a synagogue in the garden. The building survives in an unrestored, evocative state and tells the story of the waves of different immigrants who have settled in this area of London over the years.
